A 24-year-old man, allegedly masquerading as a septuagenarian, was captured by the CISF at Delhi's international airport, a senior officer reported on Wednesday.

The accused, Guru Sewak Singh, who had altered his appearance with dyed hair and a beard, was detained on Tuesday evening at Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal-3. The suspect has since been handed over to the Delhi Police.

CISF personnel first became suspicious of Singh during a routine check, where he presented identification under the name Rashvindar Singh Sahota, aged 67, in order to board an Air Canada flight. His noticeably younger appearance, voice, and skin texture prompted further scrutiny, exposing his disguise.

Upon deeper interrogation, Singh confessed to his real identity as a 24-year-old, with a photo of a passport under his true name found on his mobile phone. The case, involving a forged passport and impersonation, resulted in his transfer to the Delhi Police for legal proceedings.
